00:00An 80-year-old grandmother accidentally tumbled down a hundred steps, her life hanging by a thread.
00:04By sheer luck, a poor young woman passing by spotted her and immediately rushed to help
00:08without a second thought. Never in her wildest dreams did. The girl imagined that the elderly
00:12woman she just saved was actually the chairwoman of a billion-dollar corporation. Because of this
00:17single act of kindness, the old woman would later name her as the sole heir to her massive fortune.
00:21Eun Sung rushed the grandmother to the hospital, only to have the doctor inform her that the fall
00:25had caused amnesia. Eun Sung wanted to hand her over to the police, but the old woman clung to
00:29her desperately. Seeing how helpless and pitiful she looked, Eun Sung was reminded of her own
00:33missing brother. She hoped that if someone found him, they would extend a helping hand too. So she
00:38decided to take the grandmother home and care for her. Even though Eun Sung was barely making ends
00:42meet herself, when she learned the grandmother hadn't eaten, she still used what little money
00:45she had left to buy food for her. In the days that followed, Eun Sung searched for her missing brother
00:50while caring for the grandmother with endless patience and devotion. Though the old woman had
00:53lost her memory, she silently treasured every kind gesture Eun Sung made. When she learned that Eun Sung
00:58was running a street stall to make a living, the recovered grandmother began helping her with the
01:02business. After just a few days together, they had grown as close as a real grandmother and
01:06granddaughter. One evening, as Eun Sung was counting the day's earnings at home, an offhand comment she
01:10made triggered something in the grandmother's memory, she'd once said the exact same words herself.
01:15After a dizzy spell, all her memories came flooding back. But she didn't tell Eun Sung. Instead,
01:19she secretly called her butler, asking him to inform the family not to worry and that she'd return home
01:24in a few days. She wanted to test Eun Sung's character first. In the following days, the
01:28grandmother completely changed her behavior. She deliberately refused to eat or drink, making life
01:32difficult for Eun Sung. Complaining that the meals didn't even have meat and demanding nutritious food
01:37from restaurants. Despite her financial struggles, Eun Sung scraped together enough money to order meat
01:41soup for her. The grandmother froze when she saw the packaging, it was from one of their company's
01:45own restaurants. Eun Sung excitedly told her she was planning to interview at that very company.
01:49While the grandmother kept a straight face, inside she was delighted. When the interview day arrived
01:54and Eun Sung was about to leave, the grandmother suddenly pretended to have severe stomach pain.
01:58Torn between this crucial interview and the suffering grandmother, Eun Sung ultimately chose to skip the
02:02interview and take her to the hospital. But as soon as they arrived, the grandmother claimed she was
02:06perfectly fine and asked to go home. Devastated by the lost opportunity, Eun Sung was heartbroken.
02:11The grandmother deliberately pushed further, asking if she regretted taking her in, if she wanted to kick
02:16her out right now. This finally broke Eun Sung. She told the grandmother that she too had once
02:20been thrown out of, her home. She knew exactly what it felt like to be on the streets with nowhere to
02:24go. Her missing brother might be living as a homeless person somewhere. How could she possibly have the
02:28heart to turn the grandmother away? Seeing such genuine kindness in Eun Sung, the grandmother knew she
02:33had found her company's successor. Once they returned home, the grandmother immediately arranged for her
02:38butler to bring Eun Sung to her mansion. When Eun Sung discovered that the grandmother was actually a
02:42super wealthy tycoon, she was absolutely stunned. She thought the grandmother just wanted to treat
02:46her to a meal as a thank you gesture, but instead, the grandmother offered to help her find her
02:50missing brother. There was just one condition, Eun Sung had to move into the mansion and live with her.
02:54Despite the grandmother's generous offer, Eun Sung declined. She didn't want to burden the elderly woman.
02:59But on her way home, she saw one of her missing brother's flyers carelessly thrown on the ground.
03:03It had been nearly a month since her brother disappeared, and Eun Sung knew deep down that she'd have a hard
03:08time finding him on her own. For her brother's safety, she packed her bags and prepared to move
03:12into the grandmother's house. But the moment she arrived at the mansion, she was blocked by a
03:16wealthy heir. It turned out Eun Sung and this rich young man already knew each other. A few months
03:20earlier, they'd accidentally swapped bags at the airport. When Eun Sung went to exchange bags with him,
03:24the arrogant heir gave her nothing but trouble. Right in the middle of all this, Eun Sung's father had a
03:28fatal accident. Because the heir refused to return her bag promptly, she missed her chance to see her
03:33father one last time. This created bad blood between them. Eun Sung never imagined that this
03:37wealthy heir, Sien Woo Hwan, was actually the grandmother's grandson. After a heated argument,
03:42Eun Sung stormed off. Just as she was leaving, she ran into the grandmother coming home. The grandmother
03:47was overjoyed to see that Eun Sung was willing to move in with her. But Eun Sung simply apologized and
03:51left. When the grandmother learned that her grandson had driven Eun Sung away, she was furious and gave him a
03:56serious tongue lashing. Eun Sung felt crushed after being kicked out, she'd just lost her best chance to
04:00quickly find her brother. But then, out of the blue, she received an invitation from a company where
04:05she'd previously missed an interview. When she arrived for the interview, she was shocked to
04:08discover that the grandmother was the company's chairwoman. The grandmother then told Eun Sung not
04:12to let her dislike of her grandson stop her from finding her brother. She shouldn't let pride get in
04:17her way. If Eun Sung moved into the grandmother's house, she would arrange for over a dozen experts to
04:21search nationwide for Eun Sung's brother. Compared to Eun Sung searching blindly on her own, the outcome would be
04:26obvious. Eun Sung understood the grandmother was right and agreed to her terms. Soon, the grandmother
04:31brought Eun Sung to move into the mansion. Facing opposition from family members, the grandmother
04:35boldly declared that anyone who didn't want Eun Sung there could get out of the house themselves.
04:39The wealthy grandson's jaw practically hit the floor when he heard this. Shortly after Eun Sung was
04:43recognized as her granddaughter by the chaeble grandmother, the vicious stepmother showed up at
04:47her door and took the initiative to reconcile with her, wanting to make peace. Listening to her
04:51stepmother Baek Sung-hee's warm words of concern, Eun Sung thought her stepmother had truly become a good mother.
04:56Little did she know that Baek Sung-hee was only acting this way because her daughter Sung-lee wanted to
05:00marry the chairwoman's grandson, Sun Woo Hwan. Baek Sung-hee was terrified that Eun Sung would tell the
05:04chairwoman about being kicked out by her stepmother, which would ruin her plans to marry her daughter
05:09into this wealthy family. That's why she changed her attitude and started buttering up Eun Sung.
05:13Unaware of her stepmother's true intentions, Eun Sung was grateful for the concern and asked her
05:17stepmother to help find her missing brother. She had no idea that after her brother accidentally
05:21discovered Baek Sung-hee owned a car and property, the stepmother had driven the autistic
05:25boy to a remote countryside village and abandoned him there to keep her secret about pocketing the
05:29entire inheritance. After placating Eun Sung, Baek Sung-hee thought she was in the clear, but then her
05:34supposedly dead husband suddenly appeared, and she fainted on the spot from shock. After they talked,
05:38she learned what had really happened. Her husband Ko-payung Jung had gone to borrow money from a friend when
05:43his company's cash flow dried up, but ended up getting targeted by criminals who knocked him unconscious
05:47and robbed him of all his valuables. By sheer coincidence, a nightclub had a gas explosion that same day,
05:52and the criminal who robbed him died in the accident. Based on the belongings left behind,
05:56the police identified the victim as Ko-payung Jung. At that point, Ko-payung Jung was already drowning in
06:01debt from his bankrupt company. So he decided to go along with the mistaken identity so his wife and
06:06children could collect the life insurance money and live comfortably. But after living as a homeless
06:10person for a while, he found life on the streets too harsh. So he decided to come back and live with
06:14his family. He thought his wife would be thrilled, but she wished he really were dead. Because right after he'd
06:19died, she had pocketed all the insurance money, kicked out his children from his previous marriage,
06:23and even dumped his autistic stepson in a remote village. Ko-payung Jung wanted to know how his
06:27daughter Eun-sung and son Eun-woo were doing. Baek Sung-hee lit. Claiming that right after the funeral,
06:32Eun-sung took their share of the insurance money and went abroad with her brother. Ko-payung Jung didn't
06:36suspect anything and prepared to go home with Baek Sung-hee. But she had no intention of continuing
06:41life with her bankrupt husband. She told him his resurrection had scared her and she needed time
06:45to process everything, asking him to meet her there again in two days. Two days passed quickly,
06:49and Ko-payung Jung g eagerly awaited going home with his wife. But Baek Sung-hee coldly told him she
06:54didn't want to continue with a bankrupt man. She handed him some money and told him to keep playing
06:58dead under a fake identity. Because if he came back to life, she'd have to return all that insurance
07:02money she'd kept for herself. Seeing his wife's heartlessness, Ko-payung Jung was furious but had no
07:07choice except to grab his luggage and hit the road again in despair. Baek Sung-hee thought she'd gotten rid of
07:11all her problems and could now quietly wait for her daughter to marry into wealth. But she never
07:15imagined that the chairwoman would announce to the whole family that she was leaving all her assets.
07:19To Eun-sung, everyone was absolutely stunned, but quickly brushed it off, convinced she had to be
07:24joking. The very next day, however, Grandma cut off everyone's allowances and issued an ultimatum.
07:29From now on, everyone had to get a job. Anyone who refused would be kicked out of the house for good.
07:33The family panicked and began harboring deep resentment toward her, believing she didn't love them at all.
07:38What they didn't realize was that this decision was tearing Grandma apart inside. Years of spoiling
07:42her family had created monsters. Her daughter-in-law and granddaughter did nothing but shop and blow
07:47through money, while her only grandson, Sun Woo-hwan, was an arrogant bully who treated the company
07:51employees like dirt. What broke Grandma's heart most was overhearing her grandson declare that once she
07:55died, he'd sell the company and live off the proceeds until the money ran out. Her daughter-in-law and
08:00granddaughter enthusiastically agreed. Meanwhile, Grandma thought about Eun-sung, the woman who had
08:04saved her life. No matter how tough things got, Eun-sung always faced life head-on with a positive
08:09attitude. Even during her darkest times, she never thought of abandoning Grandma. The company Grandma
08:13had built from the ground up, she refused to let her family destroy it. That's what drove her to make
08:17this painful choice. Next, Grandma confiscated Sun Woo-hwan's luxury car keys and had Eun-sung take him to
08:23work. Broken trying to save face in front of Eun-sung, Sun Woo-hwan flagged down a taxi even though they
08:27could've easily taken the bus. They hit terrible traffic, and watching the meter climb higher and higher,
08:32he started to freak out. Meanwhile, Eun-sung had already been working at the store for hours and
08:36wondered where Sun Woo-hwan was. A staff member told her that her boyfriend was waiting outside for
08:41her. Eun-sung was confused, she'd been single for nearly 20 years. How could she have a boyfriend?
08:46When she stepped outside, she discovered Sun Woo-hwan couldn't pay the cab fare. She couldn't wrap her
08:50head around it. How could a rich kid be broke? When she asked him for the money, Sun Woo-hwan exploded in
08:55rage and blurted out that Grandma was leaving her entire inheritance to Eun-sung. Eun-sung froze in complete
09:00shock. After getting off work, Eun-sung asks the grandmother if this is actually true,
09:04and the grandmother says yes. Even though the grandmother confirms it, Eun-sung suspects this
09:08is just a tactic to straighten out her grandson's son Woo-hwan, and that she's being used as leverage.
09:12Still, Eun-sung is happy to help the grandmother out, even if it means being used. The grandmother
09:17goes on to warn her that the grandson and his family will make trouble for her because of this,
09:21is she okay with that? Eun-sung says she doesn't mind if they cause problems,
09:24since the grandmother agreed to help find her brother in exchange for letting her stay in the house.
09:28The grandmother then tells the butler to bring in more people and find Eun-sung's brother as soon
09:32as possible, whatever it takes. She doesn't want Eun-sung thinking she's only being kept around
09:36because of her brother. On the other side, the guilt-ridden stepmother seeks out Eun-sung.
09:40She tells her she's found an apartment and wants Eun-sung to move out of the grandmother's house,
09:44so she won't have to live in someone else's home and put up with their judgment. Eun-sung admits she
09:48makes a good point, but says since the grandmother is already helping search for her brother,
09:51she's going to keep staying there. Hearing that the grandmother has people actively
09:55looking for Eun-sung's brother terrifies the stepmother. If they discover that she's the
09:58one who abandoned her stepson Eun-woo, she'll be ruined. To keep anyone from finding Eun-woo,
10:03she decides to move him elsewhere. But when she goes back to the orphanage where she left him,
10:07she's told they never actually took in Eun-woo. She recalls that the night she abandoned him,
10:11she just dropped him at the entrance and took off. Now she's kicking herself with regret.
10:14Not long after, the death anniversary of Eun-sung's biological mother arrives. The grandmother
10:19has son Woo-hwan drive Eun-sung to the cemetery to pay respects. Meanwhile, Eun-sung's father
10:23takes the bus to honor his late wife. Just as Eun-sung finishes her visit and walks away,
10:27her father shows up. Father and daughter miss each other by mere moments. When Eun-sung's father
10:31reaches his wife's grave and spots the fresh flowers Eun-sung just laid down. It clicks,
10:35the woman he saw heading down the mountain was Eun-sung. He immediately chases after his daughter,
10:40but Eun-sung, already in the car, can't hear her father's calls. Once again, father and daughter
10:44miss their chance. To verify whether the person he saw was truly Eun-sung, her father calls the school
10:49where she was supposedly studying abroad. He's told that Eun-sung transferred out two years earlier,
10:53but his wife specifically told him that Eun-sung had taken her brother abroad. This doesn't add up.
10:58He heads to an internet cafe to check his email. Since his wife claimed Eun-sung emailed her every week,
11:03yet he finds no messages between his daughter and his stepmother. He can't figure out why his
11:07daughter has vanished without a trace. Determined to get to the bottom of where his daughter is,
11:10he decides to confront his wife directly. He remembers seeing a sticker on her car when they
11:14crossed paths that read, Bekma Apartments, Building 503, Unit 702. After doing some searching online,
11:21he locates the apartment complex. He follows the address straight to his wife's place.
11:24His stepdaughter Sung-mi opens the door. When Sung-mi lays eyes on her father, who'd been
11:28officially declared dead, she screams in terror. Her mother rushed over at the sound, and the moment
11:33she saw her husband, she froze in shock. She quickly grabbed his arm and tried to pull him away. But
11:38her husband refused to leave. He hadn't seen his daughter Eun-sung and wasn't going anywhere without her.
11:42Sung-mi was baffled by her stepfather's resurrection from the dead. She asked her
11:46mother what was going on. But her mother dodged the question. Instead, she told her husband that
11:50Eun-sung had gone abroad and urged him to stop asking questions. This confused Sung-mi even more,
11:55hadn't she been in touch with Eun-sung all along? Didn't her mother know that?
11:582. But it quickly dawned on her what her mother was really saying. She didn't want her to reveal
12:02that Eun-sung had never actually left the country. Seeing that her husband didn't believe her,
12:06Baek Sung-hee told him to ask her daughter Sung-mi. When the stepfather turned to ask Sung-mi,
12:10she had no choice but to confirm that Eun-sung had indeed gone abroad. Immediately after,
12:14Baek Sung-hee pulled her husband downstairs. Sung-mi couldn't understand why her mother was
12:18acting this way. Not until she overheard her mother telling her stepfather outside that Eun-sung had
12:22taken her share of the insurance money and gone overseas. That's when it hit her, after kicking Eun-sung
12:27and her brother out of the house, her mother had pocketed all of her stepfather's accidental death
12:31insurance payout for herself. When Baek Sung-hee returned to the room and found her daughter gone,
12:36she panicked. Thinking Sung-mi might have gone to find Eun-sung and tell her that her father was still
12:40alive. She collapsed on the floor in terror. But her fear was unnecessary. Ever since Eun-sung moved
12:45into her grandmother's house, she'd been spending all her time with Sun Woo-hwan, the guy Sung-mi had a
12:49crush on. This made Sung-mi resent Eun-sung even more. So Sung-mi sent an email to Eun-sung's father,
12:54pretending to be Eun-sung. She lied, saying Eun-sung was doing great abroad and was shocked to hear her
12:58father was alive, but more worried that his reappearance would make them liable for insurance fraud.
13:03The message was filled with complaints, telling her father not to look for them anymore.
13:06Reading how much his daughter seemed to hate him and want nothing to do with him broke Eun-sung's
13:10father's heart. Meanwhile, Eun-sung suddenly got a phone call, the butler had finally found her
13:14missing brother. She was overjoyed and rushed to the home of the family who'd taken him in. But when she
13:18got there, she was told that her brother had gotten lost again on his way. To piano lessons. Eun-sung
13:23was devastated. Then the woman who had taken in her brother showed her the clothes he'd been wearing
13:27the day he disappeared. Eun-sung recognized them immediately, she'd bought them for him herself.
13:31She couldn't understand. How her brother Eun-woo could have ended up lost so far from home.
13:35The woman said she remembered clearly that Eun-woo had been sitting at their doorstep that day,
13:39holding an empty chocolate wrapper and an empty chocolate milk carton. When she asked him who
13:43bought him the chocolate, Eun-woo only said his mother did. But when they kept asking for his name
13:47and home address, he refused to say anything. That's when they figured he must have been abandoned
13:51by his parents. Eun-sung was stunned. Eun-woo only called his stepmother, Mom, which meant it was her
13:56stepmother who had heartlessly abandoned her brother. The realization hit her like a ton of bricks. Furious,
14:01she immediately jumped in a car and rushed over to confront her stepmother and demand answers.
14:05However, the cunning stepmother refuses to admit what she's done and fires back,
14:09asking Eun-sung what proof she has that she abandoned the boy. Eun-sung angrily responds that
14:13the aunt who had been caring for her brother said that on the day he disappeared, he was holding an
14:17empty chocolate wrapper and chocolate milk, and told her that, Mom gave these to me. The only person her
14:21brother would call, Mom, is the stepmother. But the wicked stepmother continues making excuses for
14:26herself, saying how can anyone trust the word of an idiot? And how does calling someone, Mom,
14:30prove that she abandoned him? Without concrete evidence, Eun-sung has no choice but to back down,
14:35though she makes it clear that just because there's no evidence doesn't mean the stepmother
14:38is innocent. And she will never forgive her. Meanwhile, Eun-woo sees his piano teacher selling
14:42off the piano, and being obsessed with the instrument. He secretly climbs into the truck transporting it and
14:47ends up at a piano shop in Seoul. When he tries to play the piano there, the shop owner kicks him out.
14:52This scene is witnessed by a man who happens to be there to sell a piano. He's surprised to see that even
14:56a kid with special needs can play. And since he's been looking for someone to play piano and was
15:00planning to sell the one at his bar, he decides to take Eun-woo back to his establishment. The man
15:04asks Eun-woo where his family is, but Eun-woo says he can't tell strangers. Left with no other option,
15:09the man takes him in. As it turns out, this man is actually Sun-woo Hwan's friend. At the same time,
15:14Sun-woo Hwan learns that Eun-sung has lost her brother again and wants to comfort her,
15:18but when he hears her crying in her room, his heart aches for her. The next day, Sun-woo Hwan tries to
15:22comfort Eun-sung under the pretense of returning money for her phone. But this only reminds Eun-sung
15:26that it was because Sun-woo Hwan broke her phone that day that she missed her brother's call,
15:30which led to him being abandoned by her stepmother. She furiously tears into him,
15:34while Sun-woo Hwan, having no idea what he did wrong, just stands there completely confused as
15:38she storms off. Elsewhere, the wealthy grandmother calls an attorney park from the company's legal
15:43department. She wants to speed up the process of transferring her massive fortune to Eun-sung's name.
15:47When her daughter-in-law and granddaughter hear about this, they're absolutely shocked. They never
15:51thought the grandmother was actually serious. To stop what they see as her ridiculous decision,
15:55they offer Eun-sung money, telling her to take it and leave their house immediately.
15:59They also say that the grandmother has already spent a fortune helping Eun-sung look for her
16:03brother, and accuse her of being shameless. Eun-sung knows full well that the grandmother's
16:06condition for helping find her brother was to teach her wastrel grandson Sun-woo Hwan a lesson.
16:11Now her brother is lost again, and the grandmother's family knows that leaving the
16:14inheritance to her is just an excuse to educate the family. Realizing that the grandmother has
16:18already done more than enough for her, Eun-sung goes to see her and begs to be allowed to leave.
16:23But, the grandmother says she's in the middle of processing the inheritance transfer and tells Eun-sung
16:27to just wait. Learning that the grandmother truly intends to leave her entire fortune to her, Eun-sung is
16:31completely stunned. She thought it was too unrealistic. Why would anyone hand over their entire fortune to
16:36a complete stranger? Eun-sung didn't want to accept it. After all, the grandmother still had family
16:41members who were counting on this inheritance. But the grandmother insisted that Eun-sung must inherit it,
16:45saying she believed Eun-sung had what it took to run her company successfully. She even threatened
16:49that if Eun-sung refused, she would donate everything to charity. However, handing over an
16:53inheritance to a young girl like this would definitely face fierce opposition from both
16:57the family and the company's shareholders. So Eun-sung would have to prove herself capable
17:01to all of them. Not knowing what to do, Eun-sung sat alone on a wall over six feet high,
17:05thinking about her life. She remembered her tragic past, how poverty had driven her to nearly jump from
17:09this very spot with her younger brother. Now her brother had been abandoned by their cruel stepmother,
17:14and she had no idea whether he was dead or alive. That vicious stepmother had been so arrogant in
17:18front of her. Now, in her desperate situation, if she wanted to knock that arrogant stepmother down
17:23a peg, she had to make herself powerful. So, having figured things out, Eun-sung went to the
17:27grandmother's office and said she was willing to accept the grandmother's conditions and win over
17:31those who opposed her. Seeing such a confident Eun-sung, the grandmother nodded with satisfaction.
17:36Right away, the grandmother gathered Attorney Park and all the family members together.
17:39She had Attorney Park bring out the will that had been drawn up seven years ago,
17:43which left the grandmother's assets to the family. Now, right in front of them,
17:46the grandmother tore up that will. Then she pulled out a newly drafted will.
17:49Even Attorney Park, standing nearby, looked completely blindsided. As the company's legal
17:54advisor, he knew nothing about this, because the grandmother knew Attorney Park was on the family
17:58side. The grandmother called in a new executor and announced the contents of her new will,
18:02after her death. She would leave her entire fortune to Eun-sung. But there was one condition,
18:06Eun-sung had to use her own abilities to increase the revenue of the struggling
18:09store number two restaurant by 20% over its previous performance, all within two months.
18:14Only then would she inherit the grandmother's entire estate. Although the family members strongly
18:18protested, this was now a done deal. The grandmother told her spoiled family members that while she was
18:23still alive, they could continue to enjoy her protection. But after she passed away,
18:26they'd have to fend for themselves. Her grandson, Sun Woo Hwan, confronted the grandmother,
18:31arguing that no matter how unfilial he might be, she shouldn't leave the fortune to an outsider.
18:35With tears in her eyes, the grandmother told him that she hoped her grandson would be able to live
18:39well for the rest of his life even after she was gone, and that she hoped he would learn how
18:43to be a decent human being from Eun-sung. And so, Eun-sung arrived at the deserted store number
18:47two restaurant. This would be where her life would begin its turnaround. The wicked stepmother
18:51suddenly learned that her stepdaughter, whom she had kicked out of the house,
18:54was about to inherit a fortune worth hundreds of millions. Shocked by the news, she tracked down
18:58her stepdaughter Eun-sung and offered her phony congratulations. In reality, she was worried that
19:03her daughter's future fiancé, Sun Woo Hwan, would end up penniless. Eun-sung saw right through her
19:07stepmother's hypocrisy and, pointed out that the only reason she wanted her daughter Sung-mi to marry
19:12grandma's grandson was to get her hands on grandma's inheritance. She made it clear that while she
19:16wouldn't expose her stepmother's evil schemes in front of grandma, she, also wouldn't let her
19:20stepmother's dreams of marrying her daughter into wealth come true. The stepmother was deeply unsettled
19:24and immediately turned around to tell her daughter Sung-mi that grandma was leaving her fortune to Eun-sung.
19:29Sung-mi, was stunned by the news and worried about what would happen to Sun Woo Hwan,
19:32the man she loved. Her mother snapped at her, saying she had no time to worry about Sun Woo Hwan,
19:37if Eun-sung really inherited the fortune, he'd be left with nothing, and Sung-mi would be stuck
19:41living in poverty if she married him. Meanwhile, Sun Woo Hwan, who had just lost
19:45out on grandma's inheritance, went to his friend's bar to drown his sorrows. When Sung-mi found out and
19:50rushed over to the bar, worried about him, she drove the drunk Sun Woo Hwan home. Once they got there,
19:54he held her close and said he'd lost everything, but at least he still had her by his side.
19:58The next day, Sun Woo Hwan discovered that the designer bag
20:01he'd given Sung-mi was now in his sister's hands. His sister told him that Sung-mi had given it to her,
20:06but he refused to believe it. There was no way Sung-mi would give away his gift,
20:09his sister must have taken it by force. He decided to return it to Sung-mi and even bought her another
20:14present on the way. But when he put the gift inside the bag, he found a family photo inside.
20:18The moment he saw Eun-sung and Sung-mi together in the same family portrait, he froze in shock.
20:22Just then, Sung-mi came over looking happy and excited, seeing Sun Woo Hwan's sour expression.
20:27She had no idea he'd already discovered her relationship with Eun-sung. Sun Woo Hwan thought
20:31back to how the two sisters had clearly met before, yet pretended not to know each other in
20:35front of him. He couldn't understand why Sung-mi hadn't told him the truth. Furious,
20:39he pulled out the photo and demanded an explanation. But Sung-mi twisted the truth,
20:42claiming that Eun-sung had begged her to keep it secret. She said grandma thought Eun-sung had no
20:46family and nowhere to go, and if grandma found out about their relationship, Eun-sung wouldn't be able
20:51to inherit the fortune. That's why Eun-sung had asked her to pretend they didn't know each other
20:54whenever they met. She went on to say that after their stepfather's death led to the company's
20:58bankruptcy. When creditors came demanding payment, Eun-sung took her brother and abandoned the family.
21:03She must have met grandma around that time. After hearing Sung-mi's version of events,
21:07Sung Woo Hwan began to suspect that Eun-sung was a calculating and manipulative girl.
21:10When Sung-mi got home, she told her mother that Sung Woo Hwan had found out about her relationship
21:15with Eun-sung. That's when the mother realized she had been the one who put the photo in her
21:18daughter's bag. Just as she was panicking, Sung-mi reassured her that she'd already covered it up and
21:23had asked Sung Woo Hwan to keep it quiet. Her mother praised her daughter for handling the
21:27situation so cleverly. Determined to prevent Eun-sung from successfully claiming grandma's
21:31inheritance, the wicked stepmother immediately began plotting her scheme to sabotage her stepdaughter.
21:35Sung Woo Hwan was devastated upon learning that his grandmother really intended to leave all her
21:40inheritance to an outsider with whom she had no blood relation. When his grandmother first
21:44talked about leaving everything to Eun-sung, Sung Woo Hwan brushed it off as an empty threat,
21:48just her way of pushing his lazy self to get off the couch and actually work at the family company.
21:52Not wanting to rock the boat. He even managed to drag himself to the office for a whole month.
21:56He assumed that would be enough to get back in her good graces, but he couldn't have been more
22:00mistaken. Turns out, his grandmother was absolutely serious about cutting him out and giving everything
22:04to an outsider. The realization hit Sung Woo Hwan like a ton of bricks. He spent the whole night tossing
22:09and turning, trying to wrap his head around it. Eventually, the pieces fell into place,
22:13his grandmother had lost all faith in him. Desperate to keep the company in the family,
22:17Sung Woo Hwan tracked down his grandmother and practically begged her to let him work at store number two.
22:21He wanted to prove he had what it takes, but she wasn't having it. She told him the ship had sailed,
22:25she'd given him a chance before, and what did he do? He showed up to work, completely ignored his boss's
22:30instructions, and then had the nerve to humiliate the guy. As far as she was concerned, her grandson
22:35was hopeless, and she'd washed her hands of him. Her words cut deep,
22:38Sung Woo Hwan pleaded with her to give him just one more chance for old times sake. He wasn't asking her
22:43to rewrite the will, he just wanted an opportunity to show her he could make something of himself.
22:47Seeing how genuine and emotional her grandson was, she finally softened and agreed to his request.
22:51And just like that, he headed off to start his new gig at store number two.
22:55Eun Sung couldn't believe her eyes when she saw him walk in, and the manager was far from thrilled.
22:59The last time Sung Woo Hwan worked there, he'd actually laid hands on the manager,
23:02tossed money in his face like he was nothing, and treated the whole job like it was beneath him.
23:06The manager didn't mince words, if Sung Woo Hwan didn't shape up this time around,
23:10he'd be out the door without a moment's hesitation. Sung Woo Hwan realized that if he kept up his old ways,
23:15he'd only keep letting his grandmother down. So he gave the manager his word that he'd do better.
23:19To get him up to speed quickly, the manager put Eun Sung in charge of showing him the ropes.
23:23Grudgingly, Sung Woo Hwan took his orders from Eun Sung. He thought things would settle into a routine
23:27after that, but then out of nowhere, a customer intentionally stuck out their foot and sent him
23:31sprawling to the ground, then threw money in his face to humiliate him in front of everyone.
23:35Eun Sung tried to intervene, but the manager held her back, wanting to see how Sung Woo Hwan would handle it.
23:40The customer refused to apologize and instead pulled out a checkbook,
23:43taking another shot at his dignity. Sung Woo Hwan was furious, every fiber of his being wanted
23:47to teach this guy a lesson. But remembering his promise to his grandmother, he bit his tongue,
23:51apologized, and admitted fault. Eun Sung watched in amazement, surprised and moved by his growth.
23:56Sung Woo Hwan retreated to the rooftop to cool off. Eun Sung came up behind him and gently dabbed the oil
24:01stains off his clothes. She went off on the customer, saying that sure, they're supposed to treat
24:05customers like royalty, but people like that needed to be taken down a peg. Sung Woo Hwan caught the irony
24:10in her words and called her out. Was she rubbing it in? Did it feel good watching him go through what
24:14she went through? It hit Eun Sung then, back when she worked as a bartender, this same wealthy heir
24:18had treated her exactly the same way. She hadn't meant anything by it, but seeing him in her shoes
24:22today was kind of poetic justice. A co-worker interrupted, saying the manager needed to see
24:26Sung Woo Hwan. In the office, the manager unpinned his soiled name tag and replaced it with a fresh one.
24:31Sung Woo Hwan was floored, the manager who clearly didn't like him was already giving him credit.
24:36He remembered what the manager had said, dropped the attitude, earned the respect. Staring at that
24:40clean new badge, Sung Woo Hwan felt something completely new, what it's like to actually earn
24:44someone's approval. Right then, his grandmother's plan started making sense. From that point on,
24:49Sung Woo Hwan left his entitled rich boy act behind. He practiced his bows before every shift,
24:53perfected his smile in the mirror each night. Head to toe, inside and out, he became a different person.
24:58After intensive training, he was ready to go all in. When customers walked through the door,
25:02he greeted them with genuine warmth and enthusiasm. His sincerity won over even the co-workers who'd
25:07written him off from day one. As Eun Sung's one-on-one mentorship continued,
25:10they found themselves spending more and more time together. Sun Woo Hwan started catching feelings.
25:15On the bus, when some guy pushed too close to Eun Sung, he'd pull her into his space, shielding her.
25:19But there was a complication, Park Joon SAE was already in the picture, pursuing Eun Sung.
25:24Seeing him show up every single day to take her out, Sun Woo Hwan felt jealousy gnawing at him.
25:28After Eun Sung's father passed away earlier, Eun Sung and her younger brother were driven out of their
25:32home by their vicious stepmother. With no way out, Eun Sung had no choice but to take her younger
25:37brother to seek refuge with their friend Hai Ri. But to her dismay, Hai Ri's boyfriend ended up losing
25:41track of her brother. Just when Eun Sung was at her most desperate and helpless, Park Joon SAE appeared
25:46before her. He not only helped Eun Sung find a place to stay but also helped her search for work and
25:50look for her brother. Park Joon SAE was practically Eun Sung's knight in shining armor. To be with Eun Sung, Park Joon SAE
25:56brought her home under the pretense of being her older brother. The two of them acted like a couple
26:00in love, happily cooking together and feeding each other. Later, they took a walk by the river where
26:04Park Joon SAE stopped hiding his feelings and confessed to Eun Sung, telling her he didn't want
26:08to be her brother anymore, he wanted to be her man. Eun Sung was startled by his confession,
26:12but she didn't dislike Park Joon SAE. She told him that she needed to find her brother first and
26:17couldn't think about romance for the time being. Park Joon SAE understood, but he hoped that before she
26:21found her brother, she would at least save a place for him in her heart. Eun Sung shyly agreed,
26:25soon after, to boost sales at the second store. Eun Sung and the team decided to hold a special
26:30event celebrating the company's 30th anniversary. Park Joon SAE and Sung Mi came to help out. Whenever
26:35Eun Sung ran into trouble, Sun Woo Hwan would try to step in and help. But Park Joon SAE always beat him to
26:40it, making Sun Woo Hwan increasingly jealous. After a long day of work, Eun Sung collapsed exhausted on a
26:45bench on the rooftop and fell asleep. Sun Woo Hwan noticed that because the bench was too short, Eun Sung's feet
26:50couldn't stretch out comfortably. To help her sleep better, he brought over a stool for her feet.
26:54When he saw the sun beating down on her, he moved a flower vase to provide some shade. What Sun Woo Hwan
26:58didn't realize was that he had unknowingly fallen for Eun Sung himself. All of this was witnessed by
27:03Park Joon SAE, who couldn't help but feel a hint of unease. Thanks to everyone's collective effort,
27:07the special event was a huge success. At the celebration dinner, seeing Eun Sung and Park Joon SAE
27:12laughing together left a bitter taste in Sun Woo Hwan's mouth. To make matters worse, Sun Woo Hwan's sister had
27:17always had a crush on Park Joon SAE. But Park Joon SAE bluntly admitted his one-sided love for
27:22Eun Sung and flatly rejected her. Sun Woo Hwan's resentment toward Park Joon SAE reached its peak.
27:27He accused Park Joon SAE of being fickle and letting his sister down. Park Joon SAE wasn't
27:31about to back down either and fired back. Questioning what right Sun Woo Hwan had to
27:35criticize him, telling him that if he already had Sung Mi's love, he shouldn't be so despicable as to fall for
27:40Eun Sung too. Hitting a nerve, Sun Woo Hwan flew into a rage and started throwing punches at Park Joon SAE.
27:45All of this was witnessed by Sung Mi. Not long after, Sun Woo Hwan went to his friend
27:49Jung Suk Won's bar to drink. Jung Suk Won had to step out and ask Sun Woo Hwan to look after Eun Woo,
27:53lying that he was his cousin. Through their interactions, Sun Woo Hwan and Eun Woo became
27:57friends. Little did he know that the boy before him was the very brother Eun Sung had been desperately
28:01searching for. Thanks to Eun Sung and Sun Woo Hwan's tireless efforts, the second store's performance
28:06began to skyrocket, with more and more customers dining there. Right around that time, Eun Sung ran into an old
28:11friend of her father's at the store. When he learned about what Eun Sung had been through,
28:14he was shocked and asked if she didn't know that her father had purchased a massive life insurance
28:18policy. Learning about the huge insurance policy left Eun Sung absolutely stunned. To figure out
28:23where the money went, she headed to the insurance company to investigate, only to be told by a staff
28:27member that it had already been transferred into her stepmother's account. Her stepmother had even
28:31claimed the portions belonging to her and her brother using their identities. As Eun Sung's shock set in,
28:36she suddenly remembered that the day after her father passed away, her stepmother had her sign a power of
28:40attorney for the insurance payout, claiming it was needed to pay off the debts from her father's
28:44bankrupt company. But then she recalled that when creditors showed up at their house demanding payment,
28:48her stepmother never used the insurance money to pay them off. That's when Eun Sung realized her
28:52stepmother had pocketed all the insurance money, kicked her and her brother out of the house,
28:56and to keep this secret hidden, had heartlessly abandoned her brother. Thinking about how vicious her
29:00stepmother was made Eun Sung feel sick, and she nearly fainted. Eun Sung immediately confronted her
29:05stepmother about the insurance money. To her surprise, her stepmother didn't panic at all.
29:09She calmly stated that Eun Sung had already signed the power of attorney, and the insurance money had
29:13all been used to pay off her father's debts. Furious, Eun Sung shot back that she didn't care about the
29:17money anymore because she would inherit her grandmother's fortune worth hundreds of millions.
29:21Her stepmother only wanted her daughter Sung Mi to marry grandmother's grandson for the inheritance,
29:26didn't she? Well, Eun Sung would do whatever it took to stop Sung Mi and Sun Woo Hwan from
29:30getting married. She would also expose her stepmother's wicked behavior and make sure she lived in anxiety
29:34every single day. With that, Eun Sung walked out confidently. Eun Sung's threat pushed her
29:38stepmother over the edge. To destroy Eun Sung, her stepmother brought her daughter Sung Mi to
29:43grandmother's house and, right in front of Eun Sung, told the entire family that Eun Sung was the
29:47biological daughter of her late husband. Everyone was stunned. Then she continued twisting the truth,
29:52saying that before Eun Sung first met grandmother, she already knew grandmother was wealthy. The only reason
29:56Eun Sung saved grandmother and cared for her so kindly was to swindle her inheritance. To make
30:01grandmother trust her story even more, her stepmother pulled out a magazine with
30:04grandmother's photo in it, claiming this was what Eun Sung regularly read. And Sung Mi,
30:08ever since learning that Sun Woo Hwan liked Eun Sung, had become twisted herself. She piled on,
30:13saying she'd known Sun Woo Hwan since childhood and mentioned him to Eun Sung every single day.
30:17Her room was filled with photos of Sun Woo Hwan, so there was no way Eun Sung didn't know about
30:21grandmother and Sun Woo Hwan's identities. Eun Sung tried to defend herself, wanting to explain that all of
30:26this was because her stepmother had embezzled her father's insurance money. But her, well-prepared
30:30stepmother produced the power of attorney that Eun Sung had signed unknowingly. She insisted that while
30:35she did claim the insurance money on Eun Sung's behalf, it had all gone toward paying off the
30:38massive debts from her father's bankrupt company. Faced with her stepmother's carefully crafted lies,
30:43Eun Sung finds herself unable to defend herself and has no choice but to leave the grandmother's house.
30:47Sun Woo Hwan chases after her and angrily demands to know why she won't explain herself.
30:51Heartbroken, Eun Sung fires back,
30:53Even if I did explain, would you believe me? He falls silent, unable to answer.
30:57Meanwhile, back at home, the stepmother tells her daughter that Eun Sung's days are numbered.
31:01The grandmother will surely revoke the inheritance now. All Sung Mi has to do is stay
31:05close to Sun Woo Hwan, and nothing can stop her from marrying into wealth. Plus,
31:09as long as Eun Sung's father can't find her, she'll never get back on her feet.
31:12But what the stepmother doesn't realize is that ever since Eun Sung's father ran into her at the cemetery,
31:17he's been desperately searching for her. The next day, Eun Sung shows up at the company to hand
31:21in her resignation letter to the grandmother. But the old woman refuses,
31:24I've already named you as my heir. If you just walk away now, you'll make me look like a fool in
31:28front of everyone. She tells Eun Sung to keep working at store number two and, no matter what,
31:32find a way to boost sales by 20% to prove her capabilities. When Eun Sung asks if the grandmother
31:37believes her, the old woman replies that no one can ever trust another person 100%. Eun Sung says she'll
31:43stay and prove herself through her work, but she no longer wants the inheritance.
31:46Money is disgusting and terrifying, she says. It's made people hate me, threaten me,
31:50and it's filled me with guilt and shame. Whether you believe me or not, I will find the evidence to
31:54clear my name and prove myself to everyone through my own abilities. With that, Eun Sung returns to
31:59store number two and gets back to work. Her return brings Sun Woo Hwan genuine relief. Soon enough,
32:04Payday rolls around, and Sun Woo Hwan asks Eun Sung to help him pick out gifts for his family.
32:08The two end up wandering through shops together like a couple. Thanks to Eun Sung's thoughtful
32:11suggestions, his family members are all thrilled with their gifts. The grandmother is so delighted
32:16with the outfit her grandson gave her that she puts it on immediately, marveling at how he's
32:19finally grown up. Because Eun Sung left the grandmother's house in such a rush,
32:23she accidentally lost the necklace her mother had left her. She asks Sun Woo Hwan to help look for it,
32:27but when he can't find it, he buys her a heart-shaped necklace instead. When Eun Sung receives it,
32:32she's torn. She knows this is his way of confessing his feelings. But she already has parked Jun Sae,
32:36who's been looking after her all this time, and Sun Woo Hwan has sung Mi, who's loved him since
32:40childhood. Eun Sung knows they shouldn't be developing these kinds of feelings for each other. So she invites Sun Woo
32:45Hwan to dinner to apologize for barging into his life and returns the heart-shaped necklace.
32:49Sun Woo Hwan is crushed. That night, Eun Sung tries to push down her sadness and forget her feelings
32:54for him as she prepares for bed. But then she hears his voice outside her door. She opens it,
32:58intending to send him away. But the drunk Sun Woo Hwan suddenly pulls her down to the floor with him.
33:03The atmosphere instantly turns intimate. Eun Sung demands to know why Sun Woo Hwan burst into
33:07her room. But he fires back that she was the one who first barged into his life. Frustrated,
33:11he confronts her about why she keeps refusing the gifts he's given her. After this emotional outburst,
33:16Sun Woo Hwan collapses and falls asleep. As Eun Sung gazes at his handsome face,
33:20she can't help but reach out and touch it, feeling her heart flutter despite herself. But she desperately
33:24tries to snap back to reality, knowing that nothing could ever work between them. When Sun Woo Hwan
33:28wakes up in the middle of the night intending to leave, he notices Eun Sung asleep with her head on
33:32the table. Touched, he gently covers her with a blanket and quietly stays by her side. The next morning
33:37when he wakes up, Eun Sung has already left for work but has prepared breakfast for him, which warms his
33:42heart instantly. Back home, Sun Woo Hwan asks his grandmother why she chose Eun Sung as her successor.
33:47His grandmother explains that Eun Sung is different from others, she possesses a rare quality called
33:51compassion. While sympathy means understanding and pitying others, true compassion is the kind of
33:55heart that can't bear to just walk away. Through Eun Sung and Sun Woo Hwan's relentless efforts,
33:59Store No. 2's sales have skyrocketed. However, to meet the goal of a 20% increase within the two-month
34:05deadline, they need to land a major client. A cruise line is currently seeking bids for their onboard
34:09dining service, so the manager sends Eun Sung and Sun Woo Hwan to compete for the contract.
34:13As it happens, Park Joon SAE is also planning to invest in cruise ship restaurants and agrees to
34:18meet Eun Sung there. Meanwhile, to force her grandson to choose between Eun Sung and Sung Mi,
34:22the grandmother deliberately arranges for Sung Mi to deliver the bid documents to them.
34:26Once the bidding conference begins, Eun Sung and Sun Woo Hwan are inseparable, making Sung Mi feel
34:31even more like an outsider. Since the bidding process lasts two days, the four of them spend time exploring the
34:36area. During their outing, Park Joon SAE naturally takes Eun Sung's hand, stirring up jealousy in Sun
34:41Woo Hwan, something Sung Mi immediately picks up on. She quickly grabs Sun Woo Hwan's hand, creating an
34:46awkward tension from this complicated love square. Park Joon SAE later arranges an RV as temporary
34:51accommodation for the four of them. At dinner, Sung Mi tries to make excuses for how she and her mother
34:55slandered Eun Sung. But Park Joon SAE shuts her down, saying there's no need to discuss such things at this
35:00gathering. The atmosphere grows incredibly tense. In the early morning hours, Eun Sung wakes up feeling
35:05restless and goes for a walk alone. Worried about her, Sun Woo Hwan quietly follows. Thinking no one
35:10is around, Eun Sung can't resist putting on the necklace Sun Woo Hwan gave her. Just then, she
35:14spots him walking toward her. Panicked, she tries to hide but he finds her anyway. This time, Sun Woo Hwan
35:19can no longer hold back his feelings and boldly confesses, begging her to stay with him and not be
35:24with Park Joon SAE. Overwhelmed by too many concerns, Eun Sung runs away in tears, unable to accept his confession.
35:30But Sun Woo Hwan catches up to her again, telling her that as long as they truly love each other,
35:34nothing else matters. And with that, they share a passionate kiss, but when the moment passes,
35:38Eun Sung pushes Sun Woo Hwan away. There are just too many obstacles between them. She emphasizes
35:43once again that they can never be together, then turns and walks away, leaving Sun Woo Hwan
35:47standing there alone, watching her disappear into the distance. After the bidding wraps up,
35:51the four of them head to a cave for some fun. During the visit, Sun Woo Hwan notices water dripping
35:55onto Eun Sung from above and instinctively shields her with his hand. Sung Mi catches the whole thing,
36:00and it dawns on her that Sun Woo Hwan has fallen deeply in love with Eun Sung. Overwhelmed by the
36:04realization, she faints on the spot, cutting the cave trip short. When Park Joon SAE spots the
36:09necklace Eun Sung is wearing, he quickly figures out that Sun Woo Hwan is still hung up on her.
36:13On the way back, he immediately tracks down Sun Woo Hwan and, without a word, lands two punches.
36:18Then he warns him, since he already has Sung Mi's love, he needs to stop messing with Eun Sung's heart.
36:22If he keeps this up, he'll only end up hurting her even more. Meanwhile, when Eun Sung gets home,
36:27Haeri discovers she's still wearing the necklace Sun Woo Hwan gave her. After some persistent
36:31questioning, Eun Sung admits she's fallen for him, but that's as far as it goes. Right now,
36:35her priority is finding her younger brother Eun Woo and clearing her name from the false
36:39accusations her stepmother made against her. On another front, ever since Eun Sung's father
36:43was forced by his wife to go into hiding, he's been living on the streets. Fortunately,
36:47he has a chance encounter with Park Joon SAE, who takes pity on him, not only lending him money but
36:51also finding him a job. Though Eun Sung's father finally has a place to stay. His identity has been erased,
36:56so he can't openly search for Eun Sung and Eun Woo. He discusses with his wife,
37:00Baek Sung-hee, about turning himself into the police and asking them to help locate his children.
37:05Terrified, Baek Sung-hee realizes that if the truth comes out, she'll lose everything and could
37:09even go to prison for insurance fraud. She pretends to agree to help find Eun Sung and Eun Woo,
37:13telling him to keep waiting. At the same time, worried he might turn himself in on his own,
37:17she tries to convince Sung-mi to give up on Sun Woo Hwan. But Sung-mi breaks down and
37:21tells her mother that at this point, she can't let him go. For her daughter's happiness,
37:25Baek Sung-hee decides to team up with Director Park to force Sun Woo Hwan's grandmother out of the
37:29company. Director Park agrees to the scheme because the grandmother insists on making Eun Sung the heir
37:34to the company. He's always had his eye on that inheritance, and now he absolutely can't stand the
37:38idea of some young girl getting ahead of him. Soon, the bidding results come in, Eun Sung and Sun Woo Hwan's
37:43proposal is a huge success, and Store No. 2's performance hits the 20% growth target. Thrilled,
37:48they embrace in celebration. But just as everyone's celebrating, Sun Woo Hwan suddenly gets a phone
37:53call, his grandmother has collapsed from a serious illness. Eun Sung followed Sun Woo Hwan to the
37:57hospital, only to be viciously berated by his family. They'd fallen for her stepmother's lies
38:02and were convinced Eun Sung was nothing more than a gold digger after grandmother's fortune.
38:05Not wanting to upset grandmother any further, Eun Sung had no choice but to wait outside the hospital.
38:10The doctor then informed Sun Woo Hwan and his family that grandmother had been diagnosed with
38:14Alzheimer's disease. While it was still in the early stages, there was a real risk it could rapidly
38:18deteriorate at any time. When Baek Song Hee heard about grandmother's illness and collapse,
38:22she was absolutely thrilled. She immediately contacted Director Park to accelerate their plan
38:27to seize control of the company. First, she started spreading rumors in the stock market that
38:31grandmother was planning to hand over the company to someone with zero management experience,
38:35and leaked the news about her Alzheimer's diagnosis. The company's stock price plummeted.
38:39Then Director Park embezzled a massive sum from the company and, using his son Park June
38:43SAE's identity, bought up huge quantities of company stock while prices were bottoming out.
38:47To prevent grandmother's shares from automatically transferring to Eun Sung if she suddenly passed
38:51away. Director Park also manipulated Sun Woo Hwan's family into filing a lawsuit to invalidate
38:56grandmother's will, citing her Alzheimer's as grounds. When Eun Sung found out, she made it
39:01crystal clear she would renounce any inheritance. But Sun Woo Hwan's family thought she was just
39:05putting on an act and threw her out of the hospital again. Later, after his family left,
39:09Sun Woo Hwan snuck Eun Sung in to see grandmother. What Eun Sung regretted most was not defending
39:13herself to grandmother when her stepmother slandered her. She needed to set the record straight
39:17now. She absolutely wasn't the con artist her stepmother had painted her to be. What she
39:21didn't realize was that grandmother had believed in her all along. Eun Sung then encouraged Sun Woo Hwan
39:26to cherish the time he had left with grandmother. At her bedside, Sun Woo Hwan finally found the
39:30courage to reveal the truth about his father's death. His father had died saving him. For years,
39:35Sun Woo Hwan had been consumed by guilt and pain, using avoidance to escape grandmother's
39:39expectations and becoming the family disappointment. Eun Sung comforted him, insisting he wasn't a failure or a
39:44bad person, and wrapped him in a loving embrace. Park Joon Sae witnessed the entire scene. The
39:49way someone looks at the person they love can't be hidden. Seeing this moment made Park Joon Sae
39:53realize it was time to let go of his feelings for Eun Sung. When Sung Mi learned grandmother was
39:57hospitalized, she desperately wanted to stay by her side with Sun Woo Hwan, but he kept turning her away.
40:02When she returned to the hospital once more, though, she found Sun Woo Hwan and Eun Sung
40:06keeping vigil together at grandmother's bedside. All she could do, was quietly slip away and cry alone in a
40:11corner. Sun Woo Hwan and Eun Sung stayed by grandmother's side through the night. When they
40:14woke up the next morning, their eyes met in a moment that was both awkward and charged with tension.
40:19Just then, grandmother woke up too. Overjoyed, they immediately called for the doctor. After
40:23witnessing grandmother's collapse, Sun Woo Hwan realized he needed to sort out his feelings once and
40:27for all. He came clean to Sung Mi, confessing that he had fallen for Eun Sung. Sung Mi challenged him,
40:32asking if he really didn't think Eun Sung was a fraud.Sun Woo Hwan insisted he believed Eun Sung was telling
40:37the truth because he remembered that when he first visited Sung Mi's house,
40:40she had mentioned it was the first time she'd displayed his photo. Plus, if Eun Sung had already
40:44known him, she would have told Sung Mi about it when they accidentally switched bags, instead of
40:48letting him push her around. With her lies exposed, Sung Mi had no choice but to let Sun Woo Hwan go.
40:53Meanwhile, Eun Sung turned down Park Joon SAE as well. Realizing he couldn't hold onto her, Park Joon SAE
40:58decided to let her go. Elsewhere, director Park, scheming to take over the company, deliberately switched
41:03out all the restaurant ingredients with lower-grade supplies. When grandmother found out,
41:07she insisted he replace them with premium ingredients. Director Park claimed the company
41:11was strapped for cash due to factory construction issues and couldn't afford the upgrade. Hearing
41:15this, grandmother decided to sell off some of her company shares, playing right into director Park's
41:20trap. He quickly snapped up the shares she sold. Now that his stake rivaled grandmother's,
41:24director Park immediately called a shareholders meeting, planning to remove her as president on
41:28the grounds that she was suffering from dementia. Furious upon hearing this, grandmother summoned her
41:32trusted allies. After crunching the numbers, they realized the major shareholders were evenly split,
41:37meaning the outcome would hinge on the minority shareholders' votes. To win more support,
41:41Sun Woo Hwan started lobbying various shareholders. But because he used to be an arrogant playboy,
41:45his efforts backfired and he was ridiculed instead. That's when the store manager offered a valuable
41:50suggestion. Since the company was short on funds, they could appeal to all employees, convincing them
41:55to voluntarily take a three-month pay cut. They could also persuade employee shareholders to back
41:59grandmother.Sun Woo Hwan then gathered all employee shareholders and gave an impassioned speech,
42:03saying that grandmother had built this company from scratch, that it didn't belong to him or those
42:07high and mighty directors, but to all 1,173 employees. Grandmother had always treated everyone like
42:13family, and if she lost her position as president, no one would continue fighting for the employees'
42:18interests. Moved by his heartfelt speech, the employee shareholders rallied behind grandmother,
42:22and Eun Sung and the other employees saw Sun Woo Hwan in a whole new light. Just before the shareholders'
42:26meeting, Park Joon SAE suddenly discovered that his father, Director Park, had bought up massive
42:31amounts of company stock in his name and was ordering him to vote in favor of removing the
42:35president. Park Joon SAE was torn. Then, out of nowhere, Sung Mi dropped another bombshell. While
42:40reviewing the company's finances, she'd stumbled upon evidence that Director Park had embezzled funds to
42:44buy company shares. She threatened Park Joon SAE, if he didn't vote to remove the president,
42:49she'd expose his father's embezzlement and send him to prison. Faced with the choice between
42:52sending his own father to jail or betraying grandmother, Park Joon SAE ultimately made
42:56his decision. The moment the matriarch saw him, her heart sank. The vote was dead even,
43:01and if Park Joon SAE sided with his father, Director Park, she'd be out on the street.
43:05Desperate to sway the shareholders, Sun Woo Hwan and Eun Sung presented voluntary salary
43:09reduction pledges signed by every single employee, showing the workers stood firmly behind the matriarch.
43:14Sun Woo Hwan's impassioned speech cut deep, and Park Joon SAE, overwhelmed with shame,
43:18finally broke free from his blind filial devotion. He chose justice over loyalty and abstained from
43:23voting. Director Park was livid, looking ready to beat his son senseless. Through tears, Park Joon
43:28SAE explained how much he was struggling, but he believed this was the only way to truly help his
43:32father. With their scheme in ruins, Director Park took full responsibility and told Baek Sung Hee not
43:37to worry. Later, Park Joon SAE came to apologize to the matriarch for his father's mistakes and begged for
43:42forgiveness. Understanding the difficult choice he'd made, she promised to go easy on Director Park.
43:46Sun Woo Hwan also made peace with Park Joon SAE, expressing admiration for his ability to always
43:51choose the right path, even when torn between family and principal. Considering Director Park's years
43:56of service, the matriarch agreed to drop all legal charges as long as he covered the financial gaps.
44:00With the company crisis resolved, the matriarch insisted Eun Sung inherit everything,
44:04but Eun Sung refused. Running a business wasn't her dream, and besides, Sun Woo Hwan had matured,
44:09surely there were others in the company who shared the matriarch's vision. The matriarch
44:13reluctantly accepted her decision. Sun Woo Hwan assumed Eun Sung would stay and run the company
44:17with him, but she shocked him by announcing plans to resign and study culinary arts abroad. When he
44:22tried to convince her to stay, she simply said she couldn't give up on either love or her dreams.
44:26He had no choice but to let her go. Meanwhile, Eun Sung's father stumbled across a missing person
44:30flyer for Eun Woo and realized his wife, Baek Sung Hee, had been lying to him all along. He confronted her
44:35immediately, but she stuck to her story, insisting both Eun Sung and Eun Woo were in America and
44:40promising to help him find them. But he was done believing her lies. No matter what she did,
44:44he was turning himself in, and she'd better be ready to return every penny of that insurance money.
44:48At the same time, Sung Mi ran into Eun Woo by chance and frantically reported it to her mother.
44:52Consumed with guilt, Sung Mi decided to give up completely, she'd return Eun Woo to Eun Sung and
44:57leave Seoul with her mother to start fresh. But the cold-blooded Baek Sung Hee refused to give
45:01up her cushy lifestyle. To keep the truth buried, she immediately hatched a vicious plan,
45:05kidnap Eun Woo and use him to force Eun Sung to break up with Sun Woo Hwan.
45:08Stepmother Baek Sung Hee told Eun Sung that she'd found her younger brother Eun Woo.
45:12If Eun Sung was willing to take Eun Woo and leave Korea for good, cutting off all contact with Sun Woo Hwan,
45:17she'd safely hand him over and let the siblings reunite abroad. But there was a catch, Eun Sung
45:21couldn't tell a Seoul. She had to leave quietly, or she'd never see Eun Woo again. Eun Sung knew it was
45:25her stepmother's poisonous scheme. But thinking about all the terrible things this woman was capable of,
45:30she agreed for her brother's safety. She figured even if her stepmother double-crossed her and Eun Woo
45:34wasn't there, she could always come back and settle the score. They agreed to meet at the airport in two
45:38days. Not wanting any regrets, Eun Sung decided to say goodbye to everyone. She bought a beautiful hat
45:43for grandma and cuddled up to her like a real granddaughter. Then she asked Sun Woo Hwan out
45:47on a date. She got all dolled up, and they went to the movies together, sharing a bucket of popcorn.
45:51After the film, they ordered a whole spread and fed each other. They had a blast all day long.
45:55When the date ended, Eun Sung playfully asked if he wanted to kiss her. Though Eun Sung tried hard
45:59to act normal. Sun Woo Hwan sensed this wasn't really a date, it felt more like she was checking
46:04something off a bucket list. He suggested they go on a proper date next time. Eun Sung cheerfully
46:08agreed on the surface, but deep down she knew this might be the last time she'd see him. The next day,
46:12Eun Sung showed up at the airport early with her luggage. When Sun Woo Hwan got to work,
46:16he discovered she'd quit. He frantically called her phone, but couldn't get through. So he called her
46:20best friend Hyree, who mentioned that Eun Sung had suddenly asked about her passport. That's when it hit
46:25him, she was leaving Korea. He rushed to the airport, and just as Eun Sung was about to board,
46:29he managed to catch her in the nick of time. Meanwhile, after learning his wife had deceived
46:33him, Eun Sung's father decided to search for his children himself. The only person he could turn to
46:37was Park Joon Sae, who'd helped him multiple times before. He told Park Joon Sae everything
46:42about faking his own death. Park Joon Sae was absolutely stunned, and quickly realized this man
46:46was Eun Sung's father. After hearing from Hyree that Eun Sung was leaving the country, Park Joon Sae
46:51rushed to the airport with her dad. The moment Eun Sung saw her father, she was so overwhelmed
46:55she collapsed right there on the spot. Father and daughter were finally reunited. They threw
46:59their arms around each other. After talking things through, they both realized the evil
47:02stepmother had been keeping them apart this whole time. Everyone also learned that the
47:06stepmother had actually used Eun Woo to blackmail Eun Sung into leaving Korea. And at that very moment,
47:11to get rid of Eun Sung, the stepmother had actually sent people to kidnap Eun Sung's brother. But what
47:15she never expected was that her stepson Eun Woo would manage to escape when her henchmen weren't paying
47:19attention. Unable to fulfill her deal with Eun Sung, the stepmother had no choice but to call and tell
47:24her not to board the plane. Claiming that Eun Woo had a high fever and that Eun Sung should go home and wait for
47:28news. Worried about Eun Woo's safety, the father and daughter returned to grandmother's house to
47:32figure out their next move. After hearing the whole story, the clever grandmother decided they
47:37shouldn't let the stepmother know that Eun Sung and her father had reunited. If the stepmother found out,
47:41given her vicious nature, Eun Woo's life could be in real danger. They decided to lure the stepmother
47:45to grandmother's house first, then confront her with the truth and force her to hand over Eun Woo.
47:50Meanwhile, Sun Woo Hwan suddenly remembered that the young pianist playing at his friend Jung Sukwon's
47:54bar matched their description of Eun Woo. When Sun Woo Hwan went to the bar, he discovered that
47:58Jung Sukwon had been lying to him all along. The young pianist wasn't his cousin at all. This meant
48:02the pianist was very likely Eun Woo. But the bad news was that Eun Woo had now disappeared. After learning
48:07this, Sun Woo Hwan frantically searched everywhere, and through his persistent efforts, he found Eun Woo
48:12playing piano in a church. At the same time, the stepmother was tricked into coming to grandmother's house.
48:17When all her schemes were exposed, she knew she was finished. Eun Sung and her father held back their anger,
48:22waiting to see how she would handle this. But even at this point, she had the audacity to blame
48:26everything on her husband, saying that if he hadn't faked his death, none of this would have happened.
48:30She refused to admit she had abandoned Eun Woo, insisting she had only sent him somewhere safe.
48:34In short, she shifted all the blame onto others and then fled in disgrace. Grandmother immediately
48:39had the butler follow her to find out where Eun Woo was. What they didn't know was that Sun Woo Hwan
48:43had already brought Eun Woo back. Eun Sung and her father, who had just stepped outside, saw them,
48:47and the long separated father and his two children embraced in an emotional reunion. The clueless
48:52stepmother frantically packed her things, planning to run away with her daughter, but was blocked at
48:56the door by Eun Sung and the others. Eun Sung's father was so furious he wanted to beat the stepmother,
49:00but Eun Woo stopped him, saying it would hurt mom. Hearing this, Eun Sung's father deeply regretted
49:05ever marrying such a wicked woman. In the end, Eun Sung's father turned himself in to the police and
49:09truthfully confessed about faking his death. The stepmother reluctantly returned the insurance money she
49:13had pocketed. Since she returned all the money, she escaped legal punishment. But left with nothing,
49:18Baek Sung he prepared to end her life by jumping off a building, only to be stopped by her daughter
49:22Sung Mi who arrived just in time. Mother and daughter embraced in tears. In the end,
49:26grandmother distributed all her company shares to the employees, making it a company owned by its
49:31workers, the most brilliant legacy of all. Eun Sung and Sun Woo Hwan went on to live a happy,
49:35sweet life together. And that's where our story ends.
